Question

Write the equation if the line that passes through the point (3,5)

Answer 1

Not enough information to solve

Answer 2

Since the line is parallel to the graph y = 2/3x + 1, then it must have a gradient of 2/3, by definition.

Hence, let's use the point-gradient form:

`y - y_1 = (2)/(3)(x - x_1)`, where (x₁, y₁) are the coordinates we're passing through


`y - 3 = (2)/(3)(x - 5)`

`3y - 9 = 2x - 10`

`3y = 2x - 1`

`y = (2)/(3)x + 3`
